Loved Dune 2, just a really great film. The fact I wasn’t bored for a second of a near 3 hour film was very telling.

This is probably a silly question but...do I need to watch Dune 1 first to understand what's going on?

No idea why I hadn't seen it yet but thought it was fantastic.

Yes. I mean you would probably get the gist of what's gone on fairly quickly but you should 100% watch Part 1 first. Not just to help understand Part 2 but also because it's brilliant.

OK, thanks. Will add it to the list.
Yes you do, because the first film and the second film, is really one film split into two. ( rather than a six hour film ! )
They`re both incredible films and when the second is released to stream, I`m going to put a day to one side and watch them back to back.
I have a feeling this is one of those which is in a lot of people's top ten but rewatched The Untouchables last night as my wife randomly wanted to watch it as had never seen it
It obviously looks good as a period piece but I couldn't believe how bad the acting was. I don't remember thinking that last time I watched it a good few years back. Costner basically doesn't act for the whole movie, he just mutters his lines and never changes his face. There's a scene the first time he shoots somebody and I think it's supposed to show he didn't want to be violent but my god it's some of the worst acting I've seen from a supposedly decent actor... I was laughing out loud at how bad some of it was
A lot of the bit part characters performance and script wise belong in a b-movie
Edit: Connery's was a decent character but Oscar winning performance, no way
Speaking of the script, I thought it was terrible for 80% of the film and was amazed to see it was written by David Mamet.
Then the music by Ennio Morricone sounded like it was made for a different movie or was just left over from some other movie. It was great like, but It didn't fit the film.
Anyways my reaction is more because I remembered it fondly and when I check the reviews I see it was generally received quite well but I think it's a bit of a stinker

You not like Scottish Irishmen then? As mentioned before, Scottish russian in hunt for red october, Scottish Spaniard/Egyptian in highlander, a Scottish Arab chieftain in the wind and the lion, even a Scottish dragon in dragonheart. He earned a lot of good will with the Bond franchise. Scottish time traveler in timebandits. Them boyo's from north of the border get everywhere don't they.

A history of violence
Went to see The Great Escaper. D-Day. Michael Caine and Glenda Jackson.
I was thinking that there wouldn't be many people who were at that battle still alive.
My dad was at Arnham 3 months later and would have been 100 yesterday.

The film is set in 2014 isn’t it?
Yes. Observing 70 years since the D-Day landing.
Yeah, I wasnt a fan either. And absolutely agree re: Morricone's soundtrack, one of his most confusing
Watched Poor Things. Too artsy tbh, didn't really get into it. Emma Stone was about the only reason to watch it
